Pectin is a polysaccharide (starch) extracted from primary cell wall of plants, usually from fibrous cells of citrus peels or apple by either acid or alkaline hydrolysis. There are two basic types of pectin: high-methoxyl pectin and low-methoxyl pectin. Low-methoxyl pectin is widely used in the food industry as a thickening agent for jams and jellies. Low-methoxyl pectin is applicable in dessert fillings; sweets; and as a thickener and stabilizer in fruit juices, drinking yogurt, milk drinks, hair tonics, body lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. In cosmetics, low-methoxyl pectin is used as a structure provider in pastes, ointments, oils, and creams. In medicine, pectin is used to prevent disorders, such as constipation and diarrhea, mouth & throat sores, diabetes, and colon cancer.

Chromatography is a technique used for separation of mixtures for advanced use. Chromatography solvents, such as methanol, chloroform, ethanol, and others are used for separation of mixtures. One component solvent system or two component solvent system is used as per the requirement. No interference from chemical stabilizers, reduction in environment impact, and reduced hazardous disposal costs are benefits of using solvents in chromatography. Increasing use in purification processes present new avenues for chromatography solvents.

Ablation is a process of removing destroyed tissue, usually by surgery, for various diseases such as cancers, cardiac arrhythmias, and others. Various types of ablation processes are used, namely, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, laser ablation, electrical ablation, hydrothermal ablation, microwave ablation, ultrasonic ablation, and others. Doctors most commonly use ultrasonic ablation, which is a noninvasive treatment for the removal of diseased tissue by the employment of sound waves to reduce chronic low-back and neck pain caused due to degeneration of joints.

Protective packaging is embraced in various applications such as food, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries. Protective packaging can be classified on the basis of product type into three main segments namely rigid, foam, and flexible. In addition, protective packaging provides solutions, which protects industrial products, machinery, and equipment from damage during storage and shipping. Moreover, protective packaging offers protection in the form of blocking and bracing, flexible cushioning, protective containment, void fill, wrapping, and surface protection.

Ceramic braces are tooth-coloured and clear braces that blend into the teeth. In addition, they offer a pleasing and less conspicuous look that improves patient compliance.Factors such as decrease in the prevalence of malocclusion & jaw related disorders, growth in cosmetic dentistry, and increasing awareness about advanced treatments drive the market growth.

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) is a flavor enhancer used in processed foods. It is usually produced by acid hydrolysis of soybean, corn, or wheat, which are broken down into amino acids. HVP is also produced by enzyme hydrolysis or by alkaline treatment. It is added to food products such as soup, bouillon cubes, seasonings, spices, beef products, flavorings, veggie burgers, imitation meat products, sauces, gravy, cheese powder, and functional beverages among others. This protein is used to restore add flavor to the aforementioned food products during canning, freezing, or drying.
